Have you ever had this experience: the battery of your laptop starts to "swell" while you're using it, or it can only be used for half an hour after being fully charged, and the battery life drops drastically. At this time, you must be wondering: should I take it apart to have a look?

Don't be impatient! A friend of mine has suffered this loss. His laptop battery was seriously overheated, and he was anxious to open it directly. As a result, not only did the battery not move at all, but he also broke all the buckles on the shell. In the end, not only did he not replace the battery, but he also spent extra money to replace the shell. What a bitter lesson!

Have you fallen into these wrong ways of removing batteries?

Removing the battery at random is a big mistake

Many people think that removing a battery is just a matter of unscrewing it and prying it open, but this is a complete misunderstanding! Different brands and models of laptops have very different ways of installing batteries. Some use screws, some use snap-on designs, and some batteries are even hidden very well. If you forcefully remove the battery without thinking, you may damage the battery or the computer, and the result will only make you regret it. It's like you don't know how to open a lock, but you smash it hard. Although the lock opens, the door is also broken, which is not worth the loss. In addition, forced removal may cause the battery to short-circuit, which is very dangerous and may even cause a fire or explosion.

Make sure to turn off the power before you start

Some people often do not turn off the computer before removing the battery, or do not unplug the power adapter even if the computer is turned off. This is like repairing an appliance while it is powered on, which can easily cause an electric shock and may cause serious damage to the computer hardware. Just imagine the feeling of being electrocuted; similarly, when computer parts are forcibly removed while powered on, they will also suffer great "pain" and may be scrapped. In addition, removing the battery without turning off the power may also cause data loss. The documents and designs you have worked hard to write will disappear instantly, which is unbearable.

Randomly placing removed batteries.

Some people discard batteries randomly after removing them, without considering the storage environment of the batteries. Batteries are very sensitive items and are easily affected by high temperature, humidity, and compression. If the battery is placed in a high temperature environment, such as a windowsill in direct sunlight, the chemicals inside may react, causing the battery to swell or even explode; while placing it in a humid place may cause the battery to rust, thus shortening its service life; if it is squeezed by heavy objects, the internal structure of the battery may be damaged, which may cause safety hazards. This is like leaving a bomb randomly in your home, which may cause danger at any time.

How to safely disassemble a laptop battery

Be prepared before you start

Before removing the battery, make sure you know the model of your laptop and how to install the battery. You can check the manual of your computer or search for relevant disassembly tutorials on the brand's official website. Nowadays, there are abundant online resources, and you can easily find a lot of useful information by searching. Just like you need to understand the enemy before a battle, knowing how to install the battery can make you have a clear idea and be calmer when operating. If you really can't find relevant information, you can also call the brand's customer service number and consult professionals.

Power off properly

Before removing the battery, be sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power adapter. This is the most basic safety operation, just like wearing a seat belt before driving. If you are using an external mouse, keyboard, etc., unplug them as well. This can avoid electric shock during the disassembly process and protect the computer's hardware from damage. In addition, to prevent static electricity from damaging the computer, you can wash your hands before disassembly, or touch a metal object to release static electricity on your body.

Be careful when disassembling

Prepare the right tools, such as a screwdriver. If the battery is fixed with screws, unscrew the screws first; if it is a buckle design, use your strength to open the buckle. During the disassembly process, be careful and do not use too much force. If you encounter a situation where you cannot disassemble it, do not force it to disassemble; it is likely that you have not found the right method. At this time, you can look at the tutorial carefully again, or ask a professional for help. The removed screws and small parts should be placed in a safe place to avoid loss.

Store the battery properly

After removing the battery, find a dry, cool, and ventilated place to store it. You can put the battery in a sealed bag and then put it in a box to prevent the battery from being squeezed and bumped. If you don't use the battery for a long time, it is best to charge the battery every once in a while to keep the battery active. If the battery is not charged for a long time, it will affect its service life.

Removing a laptop battery may seem simple, but there is actually a lot of knowledge involved. Using the correct method, you can not only easily remove the battery, but also ensure the safety of yourself and your computer. I hope everyone can successfully remove the battery and give their laptop a new lease of life!
